Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

BMW i5 LWB
- Great design: A good mix of elegance and sportiness
- Premium cabin: The materials feel upmarket, and the cabin design is distinct
- Comfortable: Adaptive suspension makes regular drives more comfortable
- Driving dynamics: Feels sporty to drive, with precise steering and great handling
- Good space: Longer wheelbase makes more space in the back for a relaxing seating position
BYD Sealion 7
- SUV coupe styling is executed well, looks much more expensive than it actually is.
- 82.56kWh battery capacity ensures a real world range of 500km.
- Impeccable interior quality for the price. Soft touch material used generously on the dashboard and door pads.
- Features: 15.6” touchscreen, 10.25” driver’s display, panoramic glass roof, Level 2 ADAS — it has it all.

BMW i5 LWB
- Lacks rear seat niceties: No massage or ventilation for rear passengers hampers the chauffeur-driven experience
- Silly Misses: Rear sunblinds and physical AC controls should have been present
BYD Sealion 7
- Ride quality feels firm. Does not feel very comfortable over broken roads.
- Lacks the brand value/prestige many expect from a vehicle costing as much.
